The Journey of Felagund Ingoldo Findarato

For @arafinwean-week, day two, Finrod.

The first encapsulates Finrod's journey. It moves from the left down, then up to the top right down. On the left: Valinor, the mountains, the beaches of Alqualonde, and the beginning of the Helcaraxe on the left. The Halcaraxe continues to the right side, and on the right there is also Beleriand, Dorthonion on fire or Angband, and the rivers parting closer to the center imply Tol Sirion. Then there are bits of fire, and blood.

The center - the gold. Finrod's hair, his personality, shining and bright. Half a circlet on the right side of his head, the front side, facing forward, looking out east. Showing his ambition, his kingship in the East.

The Helcaraxe, lands of Beleriand, Sauron's fire and dungeon, then streaks of blood like claw marks are all entwined into his hair, showing that though he leaves back West, those lands and pain are entwined with him, and who he is.

(And small fun detail, rose gold in the gold that is him towards the right and bottom. Bloodstains, or foreshadowing the blood that comes.)

Then the next three pieces;

Green is Felagund, with much gold and blue weaving in and out. I put green and Felagund together due to Finrod's own green heraldry, and the name he was gifted for who he is.

Blue is Ingoldo. The colors and name of his father, and the past. The face he shows, the colors he bears, who he shows to others.

Gold is Findarato. Both, gold and the name, are his appearance. How others see him. Bits of green, who he is, and more blue, who he presents himself as.

Materials: 10in x 8in canvas, PVA glue, assorted glitter, little hot glue on the journey piece.

Eee, your art is so beautiful! If you’re still drawing elves, I’d really like to see Finrod in your style!

Hello! <3 I'm so happy to hear that! And yes, I am still on the elf(LOTR in general) grind. And here's Finrod for you!

I remember seeing another piece of fanart of him in this cloak thing and I just had to draw him in the same, I love cloaks and especially fluffy ones. I might've gone for better colors ngl, but I hope you like it!

Let me know who else you'd like to see me draw :)

P.s. I also have commissions open! Carrd link

Gave him hair to match Galadriel too because hell yea <3 They got nice curls

Finrod is often considered an exception. He was an honest, noble, wise, yet fierce King of Elves. He didn't ignore his foresight and kept his word.

Little random thought

You know everyone talks about how great Finrod is. And I mean he is pretty great- don’t get me wrong.

But you know what would put him on my personal shit list if I were one of his people?

If I had to be one of the elves that carried fucking TREASURE over the HELCARAXË. Like SIR?

“Hmm going on a death defying crossing over hellish ice and landscape, I know just what to bring… treasure!”

I would have a PERSONAL grudge against that man if it were me carrying his treasure across the ice.

Legendarium by  Christopher Nelson

Sauron: The First Age

"Sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment."

Revealed

"Then Sauron stripped from them their disguise, and they stood before him naked and afraid. But though their kinds were revealed, Sauron could not discover their names or their purposes."

Finrod Felagund

Finrod, also known fully as Finrod Felagund, was a Ñoldorin Elf who was born in Aman, He was King of Nargothrond and the eldest son of Finarfin and Eärwen, and the brother of Galadriel, Angrod and Aegnor. Finrod was one of the noblest elves of the House of Finarfin and a friend of Men.

Finrod` oarth to Barahir

"It was Barahir of the House of Bëor who saved his life, and Finrod swore an oath of abiding friendship and aid in every need to Barahir and all his kin. As a token he gave Barahir his ring, which became known as the Ring of Barahir."

Minas Tirith of Beleriand

Minas Tirith was the tower on the island of Tol Sirion that guarded the Pass of Sirion. It was built by Finrod Felagund to prevent the forces of Morgoth from invading Beleriand from the plains of Ard-galen.

Isle of Werewolves

After Finrod built Nargothrond, he handed over control of the watchtower of Minas Tirith to his nephew, Orodreth, before it was captured by Sauron and renamed Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the "Isle of Werewolves".

AU where everything is exactly the same, but Finrod uses Dnugalef as an alias.

Hello, may I request Finrod?

Thanks

Finrod! I was excited to get to draw him, I've been playing with this idea for awhile, thanks for the suggestion @silmarillionno! I definitely want to do other pieces in the future with him.

Next up so sketches from The Children of Hurin. I'll be a bit busy the next two days, but I plan to have them up Saturday night/ Sunday if all goes well.

If I had a nickle for everytime I found an awesome musical rendition of the battle of Finrod and Sauron I'd have three nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened three times.
